Is someone willing to take it from here ? Excellent idea, Normand. Yes, I think it would work ... 78 (=26*3) letters leaves 17 other characters plus a space, which would probably be enough (who needs a Figletized %, for example?). Sometime when ... wait! Wouldn't it be almost as easy just to write a specialized Figlet clone for just this one font? Well, I'll look into it sometime and let you all know if I get anything. Peter
